Hyundai Staria Electric breaks cover with up to 400 km range, 800V architecture for rapid charging, and versatile 7-9 seat configurations—positioning it as a premium family & fleet EV contender.
Hyundai has officially revealed the all-electric version of its flagship Staria MPV, introducing a zero-emission people-mover designed for both family use and commercial applications. The Staria Electric combines futuristic styling, advanced battery technology, and spacious interiors to target the growing demand for premium electric multi-purpose vehicles.
The model adopts Hyundai's latest E-GMP platform, featuring an 800V electrical architecture that enables ultra-fast charging—capable of 10-80% in roughly 20 minutes at compatible stations. It offers a WLTP-certified range of up to 400 km from its 84 kWh battery pack, making it suitable for long-distance family trips and fleet operations.
Externally, the Staria Electric retains the signature "Inside out" design approach with a seamless closed front fascia, slim LED headlights, and aerodynamic lines for improved efficiency. The side profile highlights large glass areas and sliding doors for easy access, while the rear features connected taillights and a clean, modern tailgate.
Inside, the cabin offers flexible seating for 7 or 9 passengers depending on configuration. The 7-seater Luxury variant provides ample legroom, headroom, adjustable seats, and 435 litres of luggage space. The 9-seater Wagon features sliding, foldable seats and up to 1,303 litres of cargo capacity. Premium materials and a lounge-like atmosphere cater to comfort during extended journeys. A massive panoramic sunroof and advanced climate control further enhance the experience.
Cargo capacity remains generous, with multiple folding options for maximum versatility—ideal for airport transfers, shuttle services, or large family outings. (Note: The 11-seater option is available only in the internal combustion engine version.)
The Staria Electric is equipped with a single-motor front-wheel-drive setup producing 160 kW (215 bhp), delivering smooth, quiet acceleration. The 800V system supports high-speed charging and efficient energy management, with V2L capability allowing the vehicle to power external devices or appliances.
The digital cockpit integrates dual 12.3-inch screens for infotainment and instrumentation, running the latest connected car platform with over-the-air updates.
Hyundai positions the Staria Electric as a direct rival to premium electric MPVs like the Kia Carnival EV and upcoming Toyota models. While global pricing and exact launch timelines are yet to be confirmed, the vehicle is expected to debut in key markets including South Korea and Europe during the first half of 2026, with additional markets joining later. An India launch is not confirmed immediately but has not been ruled out for the future.
This launch strengthens Hyundai's electrification push, adding a dedicated people-mover to its growing EV portfolio alongside the Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, and upcoming Ioniq 9.
